Some might say that the best way to predict the weather is by looking out the window, but thanks to modern technology like The Weather Channel, we can check the weather with ease while listening to bombastic music ripped right out of you Japanese RPG soundtrack.
A viral post made the rounds on Twitter this week, showcasing a very “JRPG-sounding” track from the Weather Channel. Do not believe me? Listen to this storm alert track and tell me it doesn’t sound like a final fantasy Song. As motherboard‘s senior Janus Rose put it so eloquently: “There is Jenova.”
As it turns out, aside from playing instrumentals on famous songs like Sublime’s “What I’ve Got” and good old Cchristian bible jams like “Silent Night,” The Weather Channel has kicked off a plethora of legitimate JRPG-sounding tunes for viewers’ weather-judging listening pleasure.
